Someone was saying that frothy omen is claiming it owns.

Bear in mind that it doesn't really do much extra damage if you run out of energy but unlike other abilities it won't stop you from shooting either, so it can feel wimpy if you are running empty. However a full energies ion with splitter can take about 2/3's health off any atlas class titan (tone, ion).

Add both discords to your discord, and look between the two, I swear to god there is almost always at least one group playing on one of them.

Ya gotta aim at where they are gonna be, it's pretty good if the dude your shooting at is standing still and it's good for picking off campers or peeps unloading a MGL at titans.

Yep, that's exactly what Frothy said. I like the idea but I don't like to get stuck in drawn out engagements dumping all my energy into splitter shots, so I don't really use it. I'd rather pick shots around corners with the laser and be tricksy about it.

Its really satisfying to use and hit people with. I regenned this gun and did well for awhile; but in open spaces where you're trying to duel someone its nearly impossible to hit a guy.Your best bet is to sneak up on people and to fight in closed spaces.

Assuming they stand there and take it, maybe; but it takes way too long for the damage to ramp up to be worth it. If the guy is brain dead enough for this to work; you could have killed him easily in some other way.

are there any good videos or guides (or just overall tips) for playing ronin? it's my favorite so far and im fairly good at getting kills with it but also it feels like im not doing as much damage as i should be?

Use your speed and dashes to flank people instead of engaging head on if you can, you'll do way more damage if you can blind side somebody and dump your shotgun into them before they can respond.

Don't be afraid to run off and reengage somebody when it's more favourable for you.

Melee bash other titans into walls and corners if you can, they won't be able to move and you'll be able to hit their crit spots much easier, and if you've got a nuke then they won't be able to escape.

Use your phase dash to reload since you'll come out of it nearly fully reloaded and ready to go again.

If you're farming AI, then use the sword since you'll kill most of them at once with the larger strike and you'll be able to respond quicker to somebody if you've got your shotgun ready.

I mean it's a pistol so it'll almost always be worse than just using an anti Titan weapon unless you're playing pilot vs pilot but as far as pistols go it's the best one. Two body shots or one headshot will kill a guy

They need to remove 90% of the titan build time generated by a nuke eject. All it takes is a single terrible player or two on your team to completely negate the 60-120 seconds you wasted safely poking down an enemy titan while preserving your own health for them to instantly build another titan

It's so disappointing in this game. In Titanfall 1 I used to run Spitfire a lot thanks to its Titan-destroying ability when rodeoing, as well as its deceptive DPS at a distance (I "sniped" many an unsuspecting pilot from a long way away).

In Titanfall 2 though, it's just a bad gun.

Actually, Sidewinder Is Good. You use it in close quarters and for excellent Titan harass, paired with Wingman for bread and butter murder.

Yeah, I've been using almost nothing else for the trial. Admittedly I hadn't unlocked that many other guns to compare it with, but it served me really well for the time. It seems like just two direct hits kill a player, and you poo poo out so many rockets so quickly that you can kill people in a blink once you get down how much you need to lead. Most of the time I just used it from the hip while sprinting around, but when you do zoom in it's accurate enough to snipe the occasional grunt or titan from a distance. Being able to damage titans and quickly kill Stalkers/Reapers on top of that is just gravy.

One issue is that it doesn't show currently partied up people as in the network. Try friending some people in the network, we usually have people on every night.

lol console is terrible.

Not to bag on you, as you're clearly doing way better than your opponents here, but that's pretty much a different game that just looks like Titanfall 2 PC. Being able to turn is a really big part of the game, and between the aim assist and people's inability to turn or move at all it looks like a radically different experience.

Why do you hate it more than crash? I much prefer complex to crash. They're basically the same style map but at least complex is easier to wall run.
